What Feeling Like Yourself Again Looks Like
It’s about having the energy to enjoy life, sleeping well, managing stress, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and building practical, realistic habits that fit your everyday life, helping you feel healthier, more confident and more like yourself again.
"Your 50s aren’t about slowing down. They’re about finding a more balanced way forward"
You Haven’t Lost Yourself
Are you noticing…
✓ Less energy than you used to have?
✓ Weight that’s becoming harder to manage around your middle?
✓ Sleep that leaves you feeling tired rather than refreshed?
✓ Feeling more stressed, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself?
For many women, midlife can feel confusing. Hormonal changes, poor sleep, everyday stress, and busy lives often overlap, leaving you feeling unlike yourself. But this stage of life isn’t about trying harder. It’s about understanding what your body needs now—and learning how to support it.
Together, we’ll build realistic, sustainable habits that fit naturally into your everyday life, helping you feel healthier, more energised and more confident.

Gabriela
After more than 15 years as an NHS nurse, I’ve learned that feeling well isn’t about doing everything perfectly. Small, realistic changes can make a meaningful difference to how we feel in everyday life.
One of the greatest privileges of my nursing career has been caring for women and listening to their stories. Those conversations, together with my own experience of midlife, inspired me to create Balanced by Gabriela.
My approach is practical and supportive. I help women understand what may be getting in the way, decide what matters to them and build realistic habits that fit their lives. I believe living well isn’t about giving things up or following endless rules. It’s about finding a way of looking after yourself that works for you and still leaves room for the things you enjoy.
Your 50s aren’t about slowing down. They’re about finding a more balanced way forward.
The Balanced Method
A practical, supportive approach to feeling your best in midlife.
Feeling better in midlife isn’t about perfection. It’s about understanding what you need now and building realistic habits that support your health and wellbeing.
Sustainable
Habits
Small changes that work in real life.
No extremes. No starting over every Monday. We focus on realistic habits around movement, sleep, food and self-care that can become part of everyday life.
Lifestyle
Support
Looking at the bigger picture
We explore what may be affecting how you feel — including stress, routines, confidence and lifestyle patterns — and identify practical changes that work for you.
Energy & Healthy Eating
Eat well. Feel better. Keep it simple
Explore realistic ways to support your energy, appetite and overall wellbeing through food — without restrictive diets, guilt or unnecessary rules.
Menopause & Midlife Support
Practical support for navigating midlife changes.
Changes in sleep, energy, confidence and wellbeing can make this stage of life feel different. Coaching gives you space to understand what you need now and build habits that fit the life you’re actually living.

What women say about working with me
Choosing a coach is a personal decision.
Choosing a coach is personal. Here are a few words from women who have experienced what it’s like to work with me
“I had at least three huge ‘aha’ moments.”
“I have worked with psychologists before and have to admit that Gabriela’s insights and delivery are on par with them, if not better. I feel lighter, more confident, less anxious and less worried about my shortcomings due to her guidance and perspective.”
R • Cape Town
“Gabriela’s manner is extremely positive.”
“Gabriela was very skilful in allowing me to pinpoint where I needed to improve my work-life balance. She supported me in deciding how to schedule time into my life to ensure I didn’t reach burnout.”
S • Hertfordshire
“I would highly recommend Gabriela.”
“We talked in depth about getting a more bespoke understanding of my symptoms and she had lots of useful advice. As our sessions progressed we covered other subjects including diet, exercise and mood, and I found the whole experience really beneficial and a real wake-up call.”
